The Importance of Secure Bonding between Children and Parents
by
M.L.
Genuis, from the Journal of Empathetic Parenting,
before March 2000 |
(meta-analysis shows)...non-parental care for more than 20 hours per week
has an unmistakably negative effect...children need their parents when
children need their parents, NOT when it is convenient for the parent.

Are humans born aggressive?
More boys than girls lash out at others, Montreal
professor says
by Mathieu-Robert Sauvé
The Vanier Institute of the Family,
Volume 9, March, 2000 |
Imagine you’re in a group where 80 per cent of the people are
shoving, biting, and kicking; imagine that one in four is hitting as hard as
they can.
Scenes like that occur every day in day-care centres across Canada... |
Raising a Wild Child
Is daycare preparing toddlers to become bullies?
Christianity Today, June 11, 2001 |
Problem behavior in children, ranging from rudeness to cruelty and physical
attack is in the media spotlight because of two new research reports from
the NICHD. According to this research, these problem behaviors
increase as children (age 4.5 to 6) spend more hours in child care,
regardless of the quality of the care.
...There seems to be no threshold. As hours increase,
aggressive
behavior increases.
...Researchers also reported that bullying is widespread in American
schools, says Duane Alexander, NICHD director, "and the bullies themselves
are more likely to engage in criminal behavior later in life."
...In many communities, churches are leading providers of (daycare) services
to children. But a church-based preschool
(day care) that graduates a Scripture-quoting bully into kindergarten hasn't
accomplished very much.
Church leaders should honestly ask themselves: If this
research about child aggression stands the test of time, how should we
balance the needs for quality childcare with the risk that the care provided
increases aggression in many young children?

Fear and Loathing at the Day-Care
Center
by Kay S. Hymowitz
City Journal, v11, n3, Summer 2001 |
The day-care advocates..., researchers, and sympathetic
journalists who write the having-it-all script have always had one major
public-relations problem: reassuring people that long hours away from
mothers would not harm young children.

Fear and Loathing at the Day-Care
Center
by Kay S. Hymowitz
City Journal, v11, n3, Summer 2001 |
Day-care researchers may be scientists by training, but they
look more like professional advocates in their efforts to sugarcoat the
effects of day care on children...
By the time the (negative) findings (about day care) were massaged into a
press release, they had been creatively transformed into a toast to quality
day care...

Fear and Loathing at the Day-Care
Center
by Kay S. Hymowitz
City Journal, v11, n3, Summer 2001 |
The ideology of day care perfectly captures this revolution
in values. Day-care devotees don’t give much thought to young children’s
social and emotional growth, believing them to be relatively simple, even
relatively unimportant, psychological matters.

Fear and Loathing at the Day-Care
Center
by Kay S. Hymowitz
City Journal, v11, n3, Summer 2001 |
But in the final analysis, "quality" care is still a pale
imitation of what young children can get from besotted* families.
Nor can (an ideal caregiver) possibly have a deep commitment to—or love
of—that child, with all his unique tics and tendencies. Not only does she
have several other babies to care for at that moment; she knows that in
short order each of them will be moving on to the pre-toddler or toddler
room to a new set of... ultimately replaceable, teacher-caregivers.
Besotted
= infatuated

Fear and Loathing at the Day-Care
Center
by Kay S. Hymowitz
City Journal, v11, n3, Summer 2001 |
But the widespread, relentless, high-pressure effort to deny
that findings like these have any significance...springs not just from an
unwillingness to hear bad news about day care but from the broader tendency
of our era to trivialize the deep problem of the socialization of
children...
